About Us
Paul Fredrick launched in 1986 in Fleetwood, PA, with a bold idea: to deliver impeccably made dress shirts directly to the men who care how they show up. Since then, we have grown into a full collection of elevated essentials, including suits, sport coats, trousers, knits, and outerwear, all crafted with character and built to fit. Fit is where it all begins. With over 50 shirt size combinations and tailoring designed to complement every build, we make clothes that move with the man who wears them. Sharp, assured, and always distinct. From bold patterns to unexpected details, we believe great style lives in the little things. This is wardrobe confidence, delivered. For men who know exactly who they are and choose to dress like it.
Our Story: 40 Years of Shirtmaking
Paul Fredrick's roots go back to the Fleetwood Shirt Company, a Pennsylvania maker of high-quality private-label dress shirts that opened in 1951.
In 1986, Paul Fredrick was launched to sell those dress shirts directly to men. We started with small 2" x 2" ads in The Wall Street Journal and a mail-order catalog. Selling direct gave us a direct line to every customer. Forty years later, that's still how we work.
What We Make
We empower men to express their personal style and confidence through distinctive designs, unique details, and premium quality. Our clothing is made to help him stand out, feel his best, and earn compliments—whether he’s at work, with family, or out celebrating all the moments of his life. We started with the dress shirt, and it's still what we're best known for. Our collection covers every kind of man who wears one:
- Non-iron dress shirts in pinpoint cotton that stay crisp from the first meeting to the last
- Spread, point and button-down collars for every tie, jacket and dress code.
- Contrast-trim designs that add a little something extra
- Big & Tall shirts built to the same standard
